Introduction to Supercomputing, part III

What will you learn in this training?

In this training, you will:

• learn the fundamentals of performance analysis
• understand the key Slurm parameters for parallel job scheduling, including threads, cores, sockets, nodes, and processes
• perform practical exercises on the national supercomputer Snellius to execute tightly coupled parallel tasks
• learn about the characteristics of embarrassingly parallel jobs and techniques to efficiently handle concurrency
• engage in practical exercises using QCG Pilotjob.

For whom?

This course is suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of cluster computing who wants to improve their ability to run parallel jobs efficiently on supercomputers.
